UT2k3 Crash! Ti4200

[Verzagen]

I have a GeForce 4 Ti4200 from Gainward, and a Shuttle KT266 motherboard. I read a site that said it might be my chipset (VIA)
"http://pcbuyersguide.com/hardware/motherboards/VIA-Problems.html"
Even if this is true, I tried installing the VIA 4 in 1 drivers, which included an AGP driver, but UT2k3 and Unreal 2 both keep crashing after only a few minutes of play.

Any ideas or suggestions? I'm running XP Pro.

Patch your UT2K3/Unreal2 up to the latest, make sure that you've got the latest Detonators.

Also, if you're warezing, just leave the forum now before you're banned. Thanks.

Have you tried disabling your onboard video which seems to be sucking away 1 meg of your ram? When the game is active it may try to allocate more.

Thanks ALOT buddy. Unreal 2 is bought while UT2k3 is the demo. They've both been patched and the detonator drivers and the latest. I'm not sure about the memory, I just thought it said 511 because some of it was being used, but I'll look into it. I just got this damn card and it pisses me off that I'm not playing U2 in it's FULL GLORY... ^_^ Thanks for your help!

have you run memtest on your memory to make sure that's okay? those games are memory hogs and if you have a bad stick of RAM it'll let you know
